Watch and see how to use the digital tool on TeachersPayTeachers! I have some GREAT news for you! Did you know that TeachersPayTeachers has been working on a tool all summer to easily make PRINTABLE PDFS into DIGITAL assignments?! This is a great option for distance learning or hybrid learning because it allows you to take printable assignments that you’ve been using, and make them digital. It’s so easy.

How to Use the Digital Assignment Tool on TeachersPayTeachers

If you’re curious, here is family readings resource shown in the demo! TpT also has a detailed walkthrough available here if you’d like to see more in-depth info.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

✅ This works with PDF files only
✅ It’s for Google Classroom
✅ Perfect for anything you would print & have students fill out! (worksheet, notes, etc)

? You don’t need to open digital files like this (Boom Cards, Google Maps, Google Slides, etc) – those things are already digital!
? This is NOT ideal for puzzles, manipulatives, or things you would usually cut out and have students move.

If you have an activity that you want to make digital that isn’t, and isn’t a good fit for the TpT Digital Tool, check out this tutorial for tips!

Transforming Printables into Powerful Digital Tools for Spanish Class

If you’ve got a treasure chest of PDFs collecting dust while your students are learning online or juggling hybrid schedules, it’s time to make those resources work for you. The TeachersPayTeachers Digital Tool is your shortcut to turning those trusty printables into ready-to-go digital activities. No complicated software, no tech meltdowns, just a smart way to level up your lessons.

With just a few clicks, you can upload a PDF and instantly make it editable for your students inside Google Classroom. They can type directly onto the page, submit it, and you can review their work right from your screen. It saves time, paper, and the ever-growing pile of ungraded printouts. Best part? You can keep using all the materials you already love and trust.

Think of it as breathing new life into your go-to grammar sheets, vocab reviews, and cultural readings. Everything from your family tree activities to body part labeling diagrams is fair game. It’s the easiest way to go digital without starting from scratch.

Real Classroom Wins with the Digital Tool

Let’s talk about how to use the digital tool on TeachersPayTeachers in creative and practical ways. Imagine assigning a reading comprehension worksheet with short-answer questions. Instead of printing it out, you upload it, assign it, and watch your students complete it digitally. They respond, you review, and it all stays organized in one place.

Use it for quick bell ringers, exit tickets, or story-based questions right after a class reading. It’s perfect for vocabulary match-ups, mini quizzes, or reinforcing tricky grammar points. And because it all lives inside Google Classroom, you stay in control without juggling five apps at once.

If you’ve been looking for a way to save your sanity while still giving students meaningful, interactive work, this tool is your new favorite sidekick.
